The Lion King

In this retelling of "The Lion King", Simba is born to Queen Sarabi and King Mufasa and will be next in line to the throne and betrothed to Nala. However, Scar, Mufasa's jealous brother and Simba's scheming uncle, wants to rule the Pride Lands for himself. Scar and the hyenas hatch a plan to eliminate Simba and Mufasa by causing a wildebeest stampede. Mufasa saves Simba from the stampede, but he is murdered by Scar. Devastated at his father's death, Simba goes into self-imposed exile and is taken in by Timon and Pumbaa. Years pass, but Simba's past still isn't behind him after he reunites with Nala and he struggles to come to terms with his past mistakes. Simba soon learns that he must take his place as the rightful ruler of Pride Rock in order to restore balance to the Circle of Life and put a stop to his greedy uncle's tyranny.
